@KrazyTheeAlaskan There aren't DMs. Set the post visibility to "only people mentioned."

@lethargilistic @sidewalkpirate @KrazyTheeAlaskan I see DM on your page. When I click it it brings up this. Maybe depends on server?

@KrazyTheeAlaskan @lethargilistic @calen26 @sidewalkpirate I’ve heard a ton of people recommend ditching the official Mastodon app, because there are much better third party options.

Most commonly recommended on iOS is Metatext & Toot!, and on Android I keep seeing Tusky mentioned as the best option.

@sidewalkpirate @KrazyTheeAlaskan @mivox @calen26 Tusky is very different from the official app. Tusky doesn't hide the Federated timeline, just for a start.

@lethargilistic Oh yikes. I would personally find that completely unusable. 😳
